What is Panchang?

Panchang (Sanskrit: पञ्चाङ्ग) is the Hindu almanac that gives daily astrological details based on traditional Hindu calendrical calculations. The word means "five limbs" - the five elements used to describe the quality and timing of a day. Priests, astrologers, and families across India often consult the Panchang before weddings, business launches, housewarming ceremonies, and other important events.

Element	What it represents
Tithi	Lunar day - based on the angular distance between the Sun and Moon, measured in 12° segments, cycling from 1-30 across the bright and dark fortnights
Nakshatra	Lunar mansion - one of the 27 divisions the Moon transits, each with distinct qualities and a ruling deity
Yoga	A daily yoga - calculated from the sum of the Sun's and Moon's longitudes and divided into 27 segments; different yogas are traditionally considered more or less auspicious
Karana	Half of a Tithi - there are 11 Karanas that cycle through the lunar month; some, such as Bava, Balava, and Kaulava, are traditionally considered auspicious
Vara	Weekday (Vara) - each day is traditionally associated with a planetary ruler: Sunday (Sun), Monday (Moon), Tuesday (Mars), Wednesday (Mercury), Thursday (Jupiter), Friday (Venus), Saturday (Saturn)
